2004 Croft LBV

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Half bottle; bottled in 2009. Deep red, opaque. Sour cherries on the nose, inviting and making the mouth water. Modest bodied impact; initially a touch sour but sweetness and black chocolate tannins develop on the mid-palate. Rich and mouthfilling flavours, full of black cherry. A big burst of acidity on the aftertaste before a long, black chocolate finish. Jolly good port. 88/100. Drunk 02-Nov-13. Decanted 1½ hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
